When proxies are not enough, when proxy leaders are falling dead, what is a hostile adversary to do?
Take matters into its own hands, of course.
And so, after waiting nearly a year since #Hamas, a member of #Iran's #AxisOfAlliance, launched a surprise attack on #Israel on #Oct7 2023, Iran delivers an #OctoberSurprise of its own to the #US by launching missiles directly at US-ally, Israel.
But it is not really a surprise ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111885708359978243 #TimingIsNoCoincidence

Israel says Iran has fired missiles at Israel, warned residents to shelter
Iran launched at least 180 missiles into Israel, the latest in a series of escalating attacks in a yearslong conflict between Israel and Iran and its Arab allies. The missile attack — and a retaliation promised by Israel — threaten to push the Middle East closer toward a regionwide war. Before Iran’s attack on Tuesday, Israel had landed a series of devastating blows in recent weeks against Hezbollah’s leadership in Lebanon. It ratcheted up the pressure on the militant group — which has been firing rockets into Israel since the war in Gaza began — by launching what it said is a limited ground incursion in southern Lebanon. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Iran will pay a price for its missile barrage.

"It has been revealed once again that…#Netanyahu has no intention of achieving peace," #Turkey said.
"Ismail #Haniyeh may not have been in charge of day-to-day events on the ground in #Gaza…but as the Hamas leader in exile he was a critical interlocutor in negotiations brokered by #Qatar, #US and #Egypt.
It is extremely hard to see how any progress can be made in the immediate wake of the assassination."

Haniyeh killed: What does it mean for Gaza ceasefire?
As Hamas's political leader, Ismail Haniyeh was a key interlocutor in the Gaza ceasefire negotiations.
⬆️ Connecting the dots regarding the above story about #China’s position on #Russia and #Ukraine, with #Zelenskyy confirming his direct talks with #Xi that China supports #Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty. #BFD
#TimingIsNoCoincidence
2 days after #Biden passed the torch to #KamalaHarris, fierce rival factions #Hamas and #Fatah announced in China that they are ready to form a #unity government, sort of anticipating end of #Gaza conflict

⬆️ >> This is a #BFD. Wonder if China’s position was influenced in any way by changes in the US political landscape? #KamalaHarris #Harris
Meaning, has #China concluded that #Russia no longer has #Trump in its back pocket, and is now, or soon will be a pauper?

Sorry for my harsh tone in the previous message.
#TimingIsNoCoincidence.
It’s been clear from the beginning that #Oct7 and the #Gaza #hostageCrisis was timed for #ElectionInterference in #US #Election2024, just like the #Iran hostage crisis in 1979 was.
Ultimately the Iran hostage crisis ended the day after #Reagan was inaugurated.

I’m thinking #ElonMusk backed out of his $180 million pledge to #Trump for good reason. I think #TimingIsNoCoincidence.
#Musk must have seen the fiery speech of #KamalaHarris in #Wisconsin and concluded in his mind that #Harris is going to win in a landslide.

"A recent report has confirmed the long-whispered rumor that #Reagan did a deal with #Iran to sink #Carter's re-election."

Warning signs for #Biden’s #Jewish support as war in #Gaza drags on and #antisemitism rises
#Israel-#Hamas war has endangered Biden’s standing with #Arab-Americans and #progressives in key states supporting #Palestinians.
#Jewish-Americans who make up enough of the population to be determinative in tight battleground states of #Pennsylvania, #Michigan, #Georgia, #Wisconsin and #Arizona have been scrambled too.

Warning signs for Biden’s Jewish support as war in Gaza drags on and antisemitism rises
Alarm is rising in Democratic circles that the turmoil set off by the October 7 attack by Hamas and Israel’s bloody war launched in response is becoming yet another weight on President Joe Biden’s reelection, with warning signs flashing over Jewish voters’ support for the president.
⬆️ #permanentStateOfWar
#Hezbollah has said it will not stop until there is a #ceaseFire in #Gaza.
#Netanyahu has said there will not be a cease-fire until #Hamas has been decimated and Israel has re-occupied all of Gaza.
#Hamas continues to hold hostages it shouldn’t have taken in 1st place
#Iran continues to laugh at the #Hamas-#Hezbollah pincer from its #AxisOfResistance.
#China and #Russia revel in their cunning, timed for #Election2024. #TimingIsNoCoincidence
